HOW THE BRAIN TUNES IN TO THE MUSIC OF SPEECH
July 2, 2018 Nicholas Gerbis Leave a comment
Ken Probst/UCSF
Human voices convey meaning and emphasis by changing pitch. Now, scientists at
University of California, San Francisco believe they have found the brain area
that makes this possible.
Scientists increasingly believe home sapiens achieved language not only by
evolving a sophisticated larynx, or voice box, but also by developing the
neurological capacity to use it in a variety of ways.

SCIENTISTS SPOT STUTTERSTEP IN SAN ANDREAS FAULT

A new study suggests that a geologic “pressure release valve” in California’s
San Andreas Fault might work more sporadically than previously thought, putting
more stress on neighboring segments to the north and south.

VAGINAL MICROBES MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY ONLY SOME HPV CASES RESULT IN CANCER
June 11, 2018 Nicholas Gerbis Leave a comment

A new study could help explain why some women with HPV develop cervical cancers
while others do not.
The research suggests healthy vaginal microbes correspond to reduced risk of
cervical cancer.
